The OVW’s Supervised Visitation Program offers communities an opportunity to support supervised visitation and safe exchange of children in cases involving domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, child abuse, or stalking. Research indicates that victims and their children often face a higher risk of abuse after separating from an abusive partner, with batterers exploiting visitation and exchange for further harm. Grants funded through this program must demonstrate a deep understanding of domestic violence dynamics, its impact on children, and the critical importance of holding offenders accountable for their actions, thereby creating safer environments for vulnerable families.

| Description: | The Supervised Visitation Program provides an opportunity for communities to support supervised visitation and safe exchange of children in situations involving domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, child abuse, or stalking. Studies have shown that the risk of violence is often greater for victims of domestic violence and their children after separation from an abusive situation. Even after separation, batterers often use visitation and exchange of children as an opportunity to inflict additional emotional, physical, and/or psychological abuse on victims and their children. Visitation and exchange services provided through the Supervised Visitation Program should reflect a clear understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking; the impact of domestic violence on children; and the importance of holding offenders accountable for their actions. |
